Prayer that grows our Jewish souls
SinaiWorship
Prayer is a way of expressing the meaning of our lives in words and ritual. Come find fulfillment in worship that is enriching, participatory, musical and joyful. All of our Shabbat and most Holiday worship services are open to all. Everyone is welcome to participate in person – members and non-members, Jews and non-Jews. Most of our services can also be viewed at home through live-streaming. Contact the Temple office for information on our High Holy Day services for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
You don't need to worry about fitting in or feeling welcome when you come to worship with us. Our services are fun, song-filled and participatory. Most of our music invites group singing and we encourage you to join in the celebration. It doesn't matter if you don't know Hebrew or if you don't know the words – we invite you to hum, tap and clap along!
About half of our prayerbook is in Hebrew, the ancient language of Jewish faith and worship. Our prayer books include complete English translations and transliterations to allow all to participate meaningfully.
Both men and women, Jews and non-Jews, are encouraged to wear a kippah (yarmulke) during worship, but it is not required. Jewish men and women above the age of bar/bat mitzvah are encouraged to wear a tallit (prayer shawl) during morning services, but it is not required. Kippot and tallitot are available at the Temple.
Temple Sinai is an informal congregation. Many people wear their neat weekend clothes to our services. On special occasions, such as the High Holidays or at the celebration of a bar or bat mitzvah, people do dress a bit more formally — jackets are appropriate for men; dresses, skirts or pants suits for women.
